Chapter 2

Allies are gathered

 

 

---------------------------

 

 

The second part is here now as Ranma and Akane are married normally this would happen later but from a couple of reviews that this concept that I had wasn't the first in mind but I'm hoping to put an end to the usual formula by hopefully something different... the enemies of this fic will be the rivals of both Ranma and Akane including the stupid fathers and the perverted old master as well.

 

 

This is as I said before your typical resolution and revenge fiction meaning that there will be a happy ending at the end of the tunnel but the chaos won't go down so easily and there will be a backlash eventually but I'm setting things up you see so it'll be good and such.

 

 

Let's recap on what's happened so far.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

Ranma and Akane finally realised their feelings for each other and decided to elope, with that in mind they became Mr. and Mrs. Saotome and were finally free from their love rivals and their obligations, with this in mind they started to plan out how they would settle out their revenge plan and in the process get rid of all the chaos that's been a real problem for the last two years.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

Arriving back in the Nerima ward on the Monday after their weekend and brisk honeymoon away, the two emerged from the train station ready to put an end to the chaos... but they would need allies so they decided to head over to the Saotome's house because for one they couldn't give a toss about school right now and also if Ranma's mother was there... then she would be the first to know about their marriage.

 

 

"Are you sure that my mother should be the first one we tell Akane?"

 

 

Ranma said as his hands were mindlessly stretching towards the heavens and sighed with relief as he felt a few bones click into place, getting rid of the tension somewhat but he knew that his troubles were far from over... he would face the eventual backlash but now his troubles are now not only his anymore.

 

 

"Of course dear she was very supportive of us even when we was arguing and I feel that she deserves to know... sides we need her help in order to take on our fathers."

 

 

He definitely agreed with her on that one and if they couldn't see sense then perhaps he wouldn't mind living away from the chaos but in thought he wouldn't mind opening up a new dojo far away in a place like Kyoto or Okinawa but Akane has been living in Nerima her entire life and it would be bad on his part to drive her away from her friends and family.

 

 

"Is there anyone else that we should tell?"

 

 

"Well I was thinking about telling Kasumi as well... but I'm not sure on how she would react."

 

 

"I'm pretty sure we can trust Kasumi love."

 

 

Akane nodded remembering how Kasumi was the only one that saw past their arguments and their temper and she would be overjoyed if they told her that they finally married but of course they wouldn't know how she would react normally that she would act like the perfect housewife and mother figure.

 

 

"I'm glad that no-one has bothered us yet."

 

 

Akane sighed whilst she moved closer to Ranma and held his hand, loving the contact.

 

 

"Yeah knowing us, something or someone will ruin this for us."

 

 

They went on towards the Saotome complex unknowingly realised that most of the Nerima Wrecking Crew sneezed whilst a few gods of chaos did the same as well... they really didn't liked to be talked about.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

Nodoka Saotome was busy doing her garden as she was reflecting on the ruined wedding and how her son's and her future daughter in law's rivals stormed the wedding, she was thinking that perhaps she was wrong into believing the two elders and their insistence to marry them off but to bribe their son with water from the spring of drowned man was the last straw.

 

 

I wish I hadn't agreed with those two fools... I could see that they weren't ready to be married especially that they recovered from the Mt. Phoenix incident, so this wedding wasn't the best idea that my husband and Soun had ever thought of and I'm starting to doubt that they should even have charge of the schools now.

 

 

She thought more but she was interrupted when a loud knocking was heard which forced her to stop and rushed towards the door... straightening herself out she opened the door and instantly she smiled at her guests.

 

 

"Ranma, Akane oh it's good to see you two, come in come in I wasn't expecting to see you two today."

 

 

The two entered the Saotome house just as they were ushered into the living area before the Matriarch returned with some tea and a few snacks as she sat down.

 

 

"So what can I do for you two?"

 

 

They looked at each other for a second and slightly nodded which puzzled Nodoka for a moment before her attention was drawn to the ring that was on Akane's finger.

 

 

"Mom there's something that we need to tell you..." Akane then reached over and grasped Ranma's hand, reassuring him which was unusual of her and in her mind they were still fighting so something was up.

 

 

"What is going on my son?"

 

 

Ranma looked at his mother and then sighed before he took a deep breath.

 

 

"Myself and Akane got married over the weeken

 

 

Nodoka was eye boggled and her jaw hit the table but then did something that was unexpected... she fainted.

 

 

They looked at each other together; this wasn't a reaction that they were hoping for.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

When Nodoka came round from her faint spell, she immediately asked for details which the two responded well... at least in their minds they had enough of the situation between them and decided for payback against all those who objected to their happiness.

 

 

Nodoka herself would of decided even if they wouldn't of gotten married, she would of taken turns in order for them to get happiness and possibly move them with her to another district of Tokyo where they would of developed their feelings in their own way but she was shocked but they were waiting for her to say something, so she did.

 

 

"Why did you two come here and tell me that you gotten married...?”

 

 

"Because I'm sick and tired of the situation and we want your help in encountering our fathers."

 

 

Ranma said to which Akane nodded and because of this she smiled... she always approved of Akane being Ranma's wife one day and had hoped of them of being a great couple despite the arguments and insanity but now they finally eloped and now she vowed to herself that she would do anything in her power to make sure that they stayed happy.

 

 

I will make sure that my foolish husband and Soun sees sense and at the same time, reclaim as much honour as I can and then I'll divorce the fat fool for mistreating my only child and for the dishonour he has given to the Saotome family... maybe it's time I called in a few favours.

 

 

She thought as the minutes went by and then Nodoka asked Ranma if he wanted to go for a warm-up so he did but before he left, he kissed Akane on the lips and she kissed back with a smile before she left... this left Akane alone with her new mother in law.

 

 

"Akane dear I wanted Ranma out of the room because I feel that this is an important talk but I need to know.... was my son manly with you over the weekend."

 

 

Akane felt herself turn red at the face and she was glad she wasn't drinking her cup of tea just now otherwise it would have made a bad impression on Nodoka.

 

 

"Yes Auntie Ranma was VERY manly, it was the best night that I ever had."

 

 

"Akane dear you're married now and sides I'm your mother in law so at least call me Mom."

 

 

"Ok Mom."

 

 

Akane and Nodoka then went into a discussion for at least an hour but from the look of things, the elder Saotome was joyous that her son was indeed a man amongst men and his new wife was able to confirm that, perhaps she would become a grand-mother in the not so long future.

 

 

"Mom there is something that I should tell you as well... me and Ranma agreed not to have kids until we sorted our lives out, gotten rid of our rivals and finished college as well."

 

 

"I understand how you two would work together to solve this but perhaps I can be of help as well, when you two leave here to go back to the Tendo Dojo I will call Kasumi and fill her in on this and then you and maybe Ranma can have a chat with her cause I'm pretty sure if you can get her on our side but that nice Doctor Tofu as well."

 

 

"Yes Mom I was thinking of talking to Kasumi as well."

 

 

"Alright then I'll do that as soon as you both leave; now I believe it's time for lunch you two wouldn't mind staying over?"

 

 

Akane nodded just as then she bowed her head and got up to join her husband in the warm-up, as she left the room an genuine smile beamed across the older woman's face.

 

 

I'm proud of those two deciding to run off and marry on their own... I think it's time that Genma and Soun suffer the consequences but I'll need a plan first off and secondly I don't think I can pull this off on my own.

 

 

I rather not be in Genma Saotome's or Soun Tendo's boots right now.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

An hour later than intended after Nodoka cooking up a very healthy lunch, the married couple headed off now towards the Tendo Dojo where they must now pretend to be just fiancés again although the temptation was there... the deception was something that they had to get used to.

 

 

"Ranma?"

 

 

"Yeah Akane?"

 

 

"I don't like having to pretend that we're fighting when we get back to the house."

 

 

"Hey I don't like it as much as you do but we need to keep our fathers off our back."

 

 

"What about Nabiki? She always finds out these things first off and secondly she was the one that ruined the wedding by inviting the rivals... I'm going to have a word with her about that."

 

 

"Meanwhile when I get back, I'm going to pound the crap out of my old man for almost forcing us to marry."

 

 

Akane had a grin on her face and then a smirk appeared on her face.

 

 

"Now dear you can't beat up on Father Saotome like that, at least save some for me."

 

 

"Of course tomboy I love you."

 

 

"Love you too baka."

 

 

They finally arrived back at the Tendo Dojo and then separated before one last kiss as they made their own way inside.

TO BE CONTINUED

 

 

(Taro) It is coming together I reckon... although not many are interested in it but this is still a side-project that I felt had the potential to be a good read and although I was thinking against putting in lemon situations, I thought perhaps yes I might increase the rating of this story to a light X rated which means Y overall.

 

 

Nodoka has always been on the side of Ranma and Akane and I think since she believes that they were meant to be, she's somewhat to blame for the Sekippu contract which was in the air somehow this will be the start of her redemption and eventually goodbye fat bastard.

 

 

I'll be thinking hard on Chapter 3 depending on how my plans turn out for the rest of my projects.

 

 

Catch ya later!
